Their Story:
The story of owners Jean and Myriam Dandonneau is quite romantic as they met in Paris 15 years ago. They got married and have a son, named Valentin. They visited Sarasota, Florida and fell in love with this charming town and pursued their dream to open French Restaurant. Jean and Myriam Dandonneau came from Paris, France 7 years ago to open Mademoiselle Paris. They were both engineers in computer science in France and their dream was to live in Florida.
The food is their passion. Jean’s Grandfather was a French Chef working at the Chateau of Chamarande.
Jean and Myriam used to go in Michelin restaurant in France, and their wedding was made by Thierry Marx, 2-star Michelin French Chef & Jean-Luc Rochas, Meilleur ouvrier de France & 2-star Michelin chef at Chateau Cordeillan -Bages, Pauillac.
They realized is that the best way to stay in Florida was to invest. So, they decided to open a French restaurant and bakery. They are working with the same team from the beginning: Isabelle, Manager of UTC location; Arnaud, Executive Chef; Veronica, Manager of Anna Maria Location and Lorene, Manager of Main Street Sarasota location.
Mademoiselle Paris is a family-business, and they do what is best for their customers and employees, always looking for improvement.
“We want to thank all our loyal customers for their love and trust. Without you, it would be impossible to realize our dream.” – Merci, Myriam and Jean Dandonneau, the owners.
Customer Reviews:
“So many pastries! It was hard to choose from, but the almond croissant caught my eye (it’s a classic) and it was simply amazing.
I love that they have savory crepes and that you can make your own! Know that if you order it with goat cheese, they load that thing down. Which is good! But you’ll probably have leftovers.
It’s such a cute little cafe with a beautiful patio outside. I wish we could have sat there, but it was pouring raining. At least inside I got to stare at the pastry case!” – Dallas Moseley
“Went here for “brunch” today. Very pleased with the choice. Very friendly & helpful staff. We chose to sit outside, best decision. We both had the broccoli Cheddar soup, I ordered a Brie, apple & spinach panini and my daughter ordered a Truffle Croque Mushroom with ham. Everything was fantastic. We also had a cold brew late and a watermelon mimosa. YUM! Highly recommend this little Cafe.” – Christina Marshall
“Dining at Mademoiselle is not just about a meal, it’s an experience. From the moment you step in, it’s clear this is no chain restaurant. There’s an intimate, authentic charm in the air, underscored by a staff who are genuinely passionate about their craft. The culinary artistry shines through every course, with dishes that are thoughtful, beautifully presented, and deeply satisfying.
The wine pairings were a standout feature (it was at a special dinner event). Each selection was impeccably matched to enhance the flavors of the food, and the accompanying wine education added an extra layer of appreciation to the experience. It was clear the team took great care to curate both the wine and the story behind it, elevating the dinner to something truly special.
What sets Mademoiselle apart is the personal touch. You can feel the pride in the kitchen and the attention to detail in every interaction.” – Benoit Mouzon
